tongue. The batter must then be stirred with finely chopped chives; the sugar
and cinnamon are omitted.
7. Cream Omelette. No. 2. 6 eggs, 1 ounce of cornstarch, 1 large cupful of
two-thirds milk and one-third boiling water, and, if liked, mace and a little
salt.
The eggs are beaten to a stiff froth, the other ingredients well mixed together
and baked as in the preceding receipt. As soon as the omelette begins to set,
pour over it the beaten whites of the eggs, cover with a hot lid until it is no
longer soft, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon and, if wished, fold it.
8. Omelette with Remnants of Meat. Remnants of beef, smoked meat, cooked ham or
soup meat are chopped fine. Stir up a good omelette- or pancake batter and stir
the meat with it, season with nutmeg or finely chopped chives. The whole eggs
can be put in at once or else beat the whites to a froth and stir lightly
through the batter. The batter can be dropped into the pan a spoonful at a time
and baked in little cakes.
9. Bouillon Omelette. Make a batter of 8 eggs, 3 tablespoonfuls of flour, 9
tablespoonfuls of good bouillon with chopped parsley and chives, salt and pepper

meantime make a thick, strong sauce of flour browned in butter, bouillon and a
glassful of Madeira, pour over the omelette and serve.

cold milk, turn in the batter, bake on both sides, lay pieces of butter between
them and put the omelette over them. By piercing with a sharp knife the batter
will go to the bottom of the pan, bake on both sides and put the omelette on a
plate as soon as it no longer adheres to the pan; sprinkle with sugar and
cinnamon. Canned cranberries are very good with these omelettes.
11. Pork Omelettes. For every egg use 1 tablespoonful of milk, a little salt and
beat thoroughly. Then cut some lean pork into slices, fry on both sides to a
light yellow color and pour the milk and eggs over them. After the omelette is
set put it on a plate so that
